[I will depart immediately], mustn't I, to avoid missing the final flight connection to the international conference in London?

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) I must depart immediately

Tag है mustn't I।
Tag को वाक्य के helping verb (सहायक क्रिया) से मेल खाना चाहिए, इसलिए must ... mustn't I का नियम लागू होता है।
✓
I must depart immediately, mustn't I, to avoid missing the final flight connection to the international conference in London?
I must have depart perfect जैसा दिखता है, परंतु have के बाद V3 (departed) आना चाहिए, V1 नहीं।
सरल अर्थ: मुझे तुरंत निकलना चाहिए, है ना? लंदन के अंतरराष्ट्रीय सम्मेलन की आखिरी फ़्लाइट छूटने से बचने के लिए।
The tag is mustn't I.
The tag must match the statement's helping verb: must ... mustn't I.
✓
I must depart immediately, mustn't I, to avoid missing the final flight connection to the international conference in London?
I must have depart looks perfect-like but have needs V3, not V1.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'I must have depart immediately' must का perfect रूप प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'have' के पश्चात V3 आवश्यक है, 'depart' नहीं, और tag "mustn't I" के लिए सीधा 'I must depart immediately' चाहिए।'I must have depart immediately' seemed to be a perfect form of must. But 'have' needs V3, not 'depart', and the tag "mustn't I" needs plain 'I must depart immediately'.
B'I must been depart immediately' में 'must' के साथ 'been' मिला दिया गया। परंतु 'been' से पूर्व 'have' आवश्यक है, और 'depart' V1 है; tag "mustn't I" के लिए 'I must depart immediately' आवश्यक है।'I must been depart immediately' mixes 'must' with 'been'. But 'been' needs 'have' before it, and 'depart' is V1; the tag "mustn't I" needs 'I must depart immediately'.
C'I must had depart immediately' में भूतकाल का भाव जोड़ा गया प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु modal के पश्चात सादा verb आता है, अतः 'had' अशुद्ध है; tag "mustn't I" के लिए 'I must depart immediately' आवश्यक है।'I must had depart immediately' seemed to add a past sense. But a modal takes the plain verb, so 'had' is wrong; the tag "mustn't I" needs 'I must depart immediately'.
